This project relates to the surveys carried out from July – December 2007. Eight surveys were undertaken using transects to sample bird numbers and distribution on the water and in flight. The outcomes of the survey show that red-throated divers continue only to be recorded in low density at distances greater than 5km offshore as well as common scoter. Auks were recorded in great numbers within the Lynn site during construction. The recommendations are for a continuation of boat-based monitoring throughout 2008 and monitoring of different bird species ongoing use of turbine bases.

The project consists of 27 turbines at Lynn wind farm and 27 turbines at Inner Dowsing (Figure 1). Installation of the foundations & transition pieces at the two sites was completed between April 2007 and November 2007. The installation of the towers, turbines and blades is scheduled during 2008, with the project due to be commissioned by December 2008. This monitoring report covers boat-based surveys undertaken during July-December 2007 during the construction period. Construction from late April throughout 2007 (Table 1) included piling for turbine foundations and positioning of transition pieces. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk/details/1032/summary A link to the web service or dataset. https://www.marinedataexchange.co.uk A link to the general host site.
